If you love the Moon, mark your calendar for January 31 when (if you are in North America or Hawaii) you will see a blue Moon lunar eclipse just before sunrise. Blue Moons occur when we have two full moons in one calendar month. There will be another in March. The lunar eclipse will be total meaning that the Moon will be completely in the shadow of the Earth for a bit more than an hour. This is not, as you might have heard on social media, the first Blue Moon total eclipse in 150, just that it is the first visible to the Americas, particularly North American in that time.

This will be a Leo Blue Moon. A full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are 180 degrees away from each other on the ecliptic. Because the Moon is far from the rays of the Sun, we can see it more clearly than normal. With the Sun in Aquarius, the Moon must be in opposing Leo.

The Moon will also be one degree away from motherly Ceres, the nurturer. As the Moon is a feminine energy as well,we can call this the woman Super Blue Moon.

It is easy to say that this will fuel the “women first” energy that is permeating certainly America and Europe but let’s look at what this means for you. This is going to focus your attention on intimacy, home, family and the balance of the inner energy of the Moon and the fiery outward energy of Leo.

People with heavy Aquarius, Leo, and Moon (Cancer) influences will feel this more but we can also take a moment to ponder this energy of home, balance and our inner world.

Happy gazing!

Astrological Bucket Lists

Ever since the movie “Bucket List” came out in 2007, that phrase has inundated our lexicon. There are book bucket lists, travel bucket lists, food bucket lists; you name it. However, I have yet to see the most important bucket list mentioned anywhere. That is an Astrological Bucket List!

I always tell my clients that there is just no sense to going through all of the aggravation and energy of reincarnating just to repeat the same lessons. You did not want to go back to school every year and repeat the same grade. Why repeat the same life? Doesn’t make sense, does it?

By examining any one or all of these aspects in your chart:

A. Your ascendant or rising sign – your personality indicator

B. Your North Node, your marker for the lessons your soul is seeking to learn this time around

C. Your Pluto placement, the planet of transformation

I will create a personalized bucket list for you to get the most of your life.

This is the only bucket list you really need!

Are you ready to experience all of the joy of knowing you are fulfilling your astrological goals at once? Jump in today with a full analysis of your rising sign, Pluto and North Node bucket lists designed just for you and get a head start at leading your life in conjunction with the universe!

According to Joan, “Modern Man takes for granted the Sun and how its energy propels and sustains life. Moon energy controls the tides yet we ignore the other more personal influences it has on our bodies and lives. We have lost the art of appreciating and reading the stars as messengers from the god and goddess. Humanity has disconnected from its source and consequently suffers emotionally, spiritually and physically.”
